need of a Primer. Suitable for both new build and repainting, this is the easiest way to
transform exteriors of buildings.

BENEFITS • No primer required.

• Strongly bonded molecules create a paint film
which give supreme protection from alkali attacks.
• Express has preservatives that fight algae and fungus
which prevents the formation of black spots and fungal patches.
• Reflects Infrared rays to reduce exterior
wall surface temperature upto 5 degrees celsius
• Building remains protected for 5 years.
• Reduces water consumption by 50%*
• Does not harm the environment. LOW VOC
.Full test report conducted by BSD (Building System & Diagnostics Pte Ltd) available upon request.
# The amount of heat reflecting is colour dependent. Lighter colours will always deliver cooler effect. The lighter the shade the higher the
amount of heat reflection, the lower the exterior surface temperature. Dulux Weathershield is proven to be more effective in heat reflection
and lowering surface temperature than conventional paints.
* The test was carried out on computer simulation for a typical 15-storey high rise apartment. Energy savings of up to 10% per annum for
a typical 15-storey high rise apartment and 15% per annum for a typical bungalow.
** Calculation based on tariff rate of the year 2009 at S$0.2169/KWh. Total Solar Reflectance (%) refers to the total solar radiation that is
being reflected away from the surface. *Applicable for selected colours

USAGE Ideal for new and previously painted exterior masonry, plaster, and building boards surfaces

APPLICATION GUIDE

Surface preparation • Freshly Plastered surfaces must be allowed to cure completely. It is recommended to allow at least 12
weeks as the curing time for new masonry surfaces. Please ensure pH level between 7 & 9 before
painting. • Ensure surface is thoroughly clean, dry and free from all loose dirt, chalk, grease, fungi, algae
and flaking paint. This can be achieved by brushing with a wire/stiff coir brush, followed by water jetting if
required. • If after thoroughly cleaning the surface, the surface still exhibits chalkiness, it should be
coated with WS Sealer E1000 (recommended) or Exterior Sealer E900. For areas severely affected by
algae or fungus application of Pre-Treatment coat is recommended. • Fill up all minor cracks and defects
with cement and sand mixture in the ratio 1:3. Avoid application of putty or filling compound. •
Weathershield Express should not be applied to the surfaces or substrates which are exposed to
continuous seepage or dampness. For best adhesion performance, the moisture content in the wall
should not exceed 10%.

Application Tools By roller, brush or conventional /airless spray (0.5mm to 0.7mm)

Dilution Dilute 1 litre of paint with 400-500 ml of water for brush application and 300ml water for roller.
In case of dark colors, dilute 1 litre of paint with a maximum of 250ml of water (An additional
coat may be required for full opacity)
Note: Excessive dilution from that recommended will result in low coverage and may impact
application properties and color.

System Recommendation SUBSTRATE SEALER (1 COAT) TOPCOAT (2 COATS)
